JB came out shirtless while performing “Peaches” with Daniel Caesar … just like TMZ told you on Friday! The crowd liked him. JB flew in from Miami, where he is performing as part of his world tour.
Daniel and Justin delighted the audience at the music festival with their song “Peaches”, which was included on Justin’s album “Justice” last year.
Harry Styles led the evening and brought out a legend – Shania Twain! Harry, who broke down stereotypes, sang Shanya’s biggest hit – “Man! I Feel Like a Woman.” The crowd ate it! The place was lit up with fireworks as Harry performed his set.

It turns out that Harry is a big Twain fan … he told the audience that he remembers his mother driving him around and Shanya roaring from the radio. He said “Shania Twain taught me to sing,” adding in a moment of self-loathing, “She also taught me that men are rubbish.”
In addition to Justin and Harry, Snoop and Anita took the stage with Daniel.
The great Sean was a big hit, as were YG and Jhene Aiko … in case you didn’t know, Sean and Aiko are BF / GF.
There was also a touching tribute to Ukraine from Arcade Fire. Frontman Win Butler said: “I want to dedicate this to everyone in Ukraine. Everyone in the punk rock band in Ukraine right now. I’m thinking of anyone involved in the war right now.” Then they performed “The Suburbs” in honor of Ukrainian citizens.

One of the crowd had an ambulance. They took him out on a stretcher. We do not know his status. As it happened, the band stopped playing … an obvious return to the tragedy of Astroworld, where 10 people died in a collision and a mob.
Lil Baby also introduced himself and ended his set with “The Bigger Picture” … a song he missed just days after the murder of George Floyd. Lil Baby brought out Gunna during his set.
And there was more … the hip-hop duo City Girls hit the stripper’s pole and performed perfectly!
Phoebe Bridgers brought out her boyfriend Arlo Parks – for the first time, both musicians to perform on the stage of Coachella.

The duo performed Bridges’ Graceland Too.
As for Snoop, he was true to his form, smoking a joint while performing with Anitta while dancing on stage. Again a huge favorite of the audience.
A word on the spot … Day 1 was a blast.
